Reflect on the life of clothes.
In the consumer society in which we live today, we do not care whether we need new clothes, the story is changing clothes, and be the latest way to not feel different to others, without thinking what because this involves the manufacturing of a garment no environmental impacts, such as in the manufacture of Nylon, a synthetic fiber, oil is used as raw material and we know that is a nonrenewable resource.
Surely more than once happened to you that despite having a closet full of clothes, do not know what to choose to dress.
I give you some guidelines to consider:
All the clothes that we throw has reached the end of its useful life?
We can afford to buy many new clothes just because fashion has changed from last season?
The changes are not random fashion, behind it are the textile industries that want to sell more, they want us to stop wearing our clothes and really get it. Put in the windows new designs and new colors for the change in fashion really noticed.
Note that the fads keep coming back every few years? Obviously, after more than 10 years almost no one has those items that were used, even though they were in good condition because in each cabinet renovation had to get off our clothes.
Almost anyone who lives in a developed country because it occurs within one to save time will be used.
You stand, "my right to do what you want, dress the current fashion, spend my money on clothes if I want and makes me happy ..." but likewise I invite you to reflect on what I mentioned earlier .
The problem posed here is that every year more and more waste we generate textiles.
Then we have to question what to do with used clothing:
Do we throw in landfills, incinerators allowing certain components of the tissues that are toxic pollutants harm the health of living beings and the environment?
Treatment of these urban waste is important for everyone, both socially and environmentally. Why certain solutions were found as many municipalities have made available to its citizens containers used clothing and shoes for are taken to different sectors depending on the conditions that are:
If it can be reused, are sanitized, prepared and delivered to poor people end up in shops or second-hand clothes.
If you can not be reused, recycled getting new yarn, are given new uses such as for cleaning cloths, and in the latter case are removed.
Therefore this article seeks to raise awareness in our society about what it costs to our planet making new clothes and also learn to extend the life of the clothes we wear.
